Fair Labor Oakland (FLO) is a coalition of organizations centering low-wage workers. We work with the City of Oakland to educate workers on their rights under Measure FF – Oakland Minimum Wage (2014) and Sick Leave and Measure Z – Oakland Hotel Minimum Wage (2019). We also support workers in filing claims with the Department of Workplace and Employment Standards when their workplace rights have been violated.
